Gallbladder removal: what to expect at Spire Manchester Hospital

When you choose Spire, you’ll be invited for a consultation to begin with. From there, your consultant can determine the best way forward and how to go about the procedure.

On the day, simply turn up and the team will show you to your room. When everything’s ready, they’ll give you general anaesthetic and the operation will only last for a couple of hours. Afterwards the team will be on hand to provide excellent aftercare, whether you leave in a few hours or stay with us for a few days.
